May the Taliban be brutally crushed for the evil and misery they have caused to the nations of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Many Sufis grieve for good Amjad this weekend.
[Music] Folque – Fanteguten
Folque were a Norwegian folk-prog band who were active in the early 1970s. According to some comments I’ve read recently, though they didn’t make much of a dent in the American market, they were quite popular in Brazil, of all places.
[Music] Piirpauke – Fyssouni & Imala Maika
Finland’s legendary Piirpauke were among the first bands which could be termed as World Music.

Growing old isn’t fun, but techno legends Juan Atkins and Moritz von Oswald show how to do it, in a scene filled with hot young talent, with grace, style and incredible grooves.
